Australia descended into a panic-buying frenzy on Saturday as thousands of people rushed to stock up on food amidfears.
Woolworths and Coles introduced strict new purchase limits last week on toilet paper, pasta, dry rice and hand sanitiser after their shelves were repeatedly raided by nervous shoppers.
One shopper in Brisbane was seen wearing a yellow helmet with a clear, full-face plastic veil and a large gas mask at Aldi in Keperra.
He wasn't taking any chances as he went about his grocery shopping despite having people stare.
But the restrictions appear to have made people even more desperate, as video footage inside a Costco in Sydney seems to attest.
The alarming clip shows hundreds of people waiting to get into the store in Epping, north of the city's CBD.
Some customers wore facemasks as they waited patiently in single file.
However, once inside the store there was a stampede of shoppers who ransacked the shelves and barged other customers out of the way.

Costco shoppers rushed in to grab essential items on Saturday amid coronavirus fears

One helpless shop assistant can be heard shouting 'there's no toilet paper' as people rushed past her.
Shoppers were seen leaving the store with trolleys piled high with produce.
There were similar scenes in other supermarkets as shoppers seemed intent on stockpiling despite repeated calls for calm.
Coles, in Bondi Junction, had large queues of shoppers waiting to be served after grabbing whatever was left off the shelves.
Woolworths, in Lidcome, was free of pasta and pasta sauce, tinned food, nappies, and stocks of flour ad sugar were running low.

Customers lined up early to get their hands on essential items

‘Anything I can get my hands on I get two of it,’ a shopper told Nine News.
‘There’s no meat either so that was really scary.'
These frightening scenes come after Coles limits the purchase of staples such as pasta, flour, toilet paper to just two per person as of Saturday.
'As the situation around coronavirus continues to develop, we believe that everyone in the community should have access to their share of grocery items, particularly the elderly,' CEO Steven Cain said.
'Following the toilet paper restrictions introduced last week we have seen compassion from customers respecting these limits.'

Coles in Claremont has had its shelves emptied of tinned foods following the coronavirus outbreak

Customers will be allowed only two items of pasta, flour, dried rice, paper towels/tissues and hand sanitisers.
CORONAVIRUS CASES IN AUSTRALIA: 237
New South Wales: 112
Victoria: 36
Queensland: 46
South Australia: 19
Western Australia: 17
Tasmania: 5
Northern Territory: 1
Australian Capital Territory: 1
TOTAL CASES: 237
DEAD: 3
Some additional items will also have limits and can vary between stores.
‘Everyone’s trollies had two of everything. Everyone’s doing it,' another shopper told Nine News.
Coles also announced they won't offer refunds on any additional items that were purchased as a result of panic buying.
'From today we will be temporarily suspending our change-of-mind refund policy to discourage over-purchasing,' Mr Cain continued.
'If you have already purchased additional items you no longer want, please look at donating them to community organisations or neighbours who have been struggling to purchase them during this time.'
Toilet rolls have been flying off shelves for more than a fortnight, with the country's biggest manufacturers, Kimberly-Clark, speeding up its 24-hour production line.

Coles also announced they won't offer refunds on any additional items that were purchased as a result of panic buying (pictured: Coles store with empty shelves)
The company hopes the round-the-clock production will help to slow the panic, as Australian families stock up fearing a total supermarket shutdown.
This is despite toilet paper being produced on mass in Australia, and no supermarkets reporting a shortage.
The number of coronavirus cases in Australia soared to 227 on Saturday.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said non-essential gatherings of more than 500 people should not take place from Monday in a drastic step to halt the spread of the coronavirus.
But the ban will not apply to schools, universities or public transport, Mr Morrison said.

Coronavirus hoarder tries to return $10,000 worth of goods to Adelaide supermarket - ABC News

An Adelaide shopper has attempted to return thousands of dollars' worth of supplies to a local supermarket after stockpiling them at the start of the coronavirus panic buying outbreak, a retailer says.
Key points:

• Adelaide chain Drakes Supermarkets said the man was part of a team of stockpilers looking to profiteer
• It said he purchased thousands of dollars worth of toilet paper and sanitiser several weeks ago
• He was refused a refund after he failed to sell the bulk of the goods online

But the man, who initially tried and failed to re-sell the goods online, has been refused a refund.
Drakes Supermarkets director John-Paul Drake said the man called the supermarket to try to get a refund on 132 packs of toilet rolls and 150 one-litre bottles of hand sanitiser.
He said the shopper had bought the goods, worth around $10,000, with the help of a "team" of stockpilers when panic buying surged about four weeks ago.
"In that conversation [the shopper said] 'my eBay site has been shut down, so we couldn't profiteer off that'," Mr Drake told ABC Radio Adelaide.
Mr Drake described that kind of stockpiling as "absolutely disgraceful", and said it was the reason that supermarkets had had to "band together" to introduce purchasing limits on products like toilet paper and hand sanitiser during the coronavirus crisis.
"The rest of my team [is] over this sort of behaviour and having to police people taking more than they need — that's a tough thing to deal with," he said.
"I never thought I'd been in a situation that I'm seeing here.
"We're not used to it, no-one is used to it, when people take advantage of the system.
"It's not necessarily being sold here or used here, or hoarded here — it's being marked up [online] for a considerable amount."
Push for fewer toilet rolls per pack
Mr Drake said he had been speaking with toilet paper manufacturers about the potential to make packs containing fewer rolls.
He said one of those suppliers, Sorbent, was beginning to produce eight-packs and four-packs, but others had said making larger packs was the best method during a time of high demand.
"For them to get more toilet rolls into the hands of the consumer, doing the bulk packs is the most efficient run that they can do," he said.

Last month, Australia's competition watchdog flipped a key rule of consumer law in response to the coronavirus pandemic, allowing supermarkets to work together to ensure shoppers can get food at a fair price.
Usually supermarkets and suppliers working together in the market would be dubbed collusion, and would be punishable by huge fines from the competition regulator.
But in a temporary measure, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) allowed supermarkets to coordinate with each other "when working with manufacturers, suppliers, and transport and logistics providers".
The authorisation, which applies to Coles, Woolworths, Aldi and Metcash, which runs IGA supermarkets, did not allow supermarkets to agree on retail prices for products.
The ACCC said the interim ruling was intended to "ensure the supply and the fair and equitable distribution of fresh food, groceries, and other household items to Australian consumers."
